Product Description
Product Description
Feed the imagination with this beautifully crafted wooden play food set! It includes 21 hand-painted solid wood pieces that can be mixed and matched to create a balanced 'meal.' The wide variety of items includes cheese, milk, watermelon, tomato, bread, fish, egg, steak, and much more! Four wooden crates (5.25 inches x 5.25 inches each) are included to sort the food into groups - dairy, produce (for fruits and vegetables), grains, and meat and fish. Kids can also sort by color or use the crates to combine foods to serve up pretend-play meals. This sturdy and colorful realistic wooden food set will satisfy kids’ hunger for hands-on play and can nourish cognitive development, too! It helps introduce the basics of nutrition, and can be used to teach early number skills, color recognition, sorting, and grouping. The smooth, solid wood pieces are sized for small hands to help promote fine motor skills and dexterity. The collection will spur creative play and encourage budding young chefs to explore healthy food for years to come.

- Reviewed in the United States on February 7, 2025I got rid of all the plastic, flimsy, or broken play food and changed it to wooden play food. Something easier to clean and more durable. With a 2 year old and 5 year old we need something that will last us time but also abuse from them and their friend thats here often. They love to play chef, house or restruant. These are a perfect addition to our play kitchen. Durable, fun colors, relastic, strudy, great value for the price. My friend was impressed she ended up getting some for her son. So glad I found these and the kiddos love them.

5.0 out of 5 stars Cadeau pour noël
Alors j ai longtemps existé car le prix de cette article Mélissa and doug varie beaucoup. Est là à 10 euros j ai craqué. J adore cette marque j ai déjà quelque merveille de chez eux pour les enfants. Que on eu tous un succès terrible jusqu’à l usure de la peinture. Alors cette achat me tenter car j ai investi pour un caddie un métal et forcément le complément idéal pour jouet à la marchande avec l univers Mélissa and doug c était un peu les cagettes en bois en plus le côté de trier les aliments je trouve ça très instructif. Et alors j ai craquer je surveiller les prix et je ne sais pourquoi cette marque ça monte ça descend à n y rien comprendre. Mais alors c est encore une merveille et oui j ai encore fait ma cliente casse pied pour rien car même 5 euros de plus vaudrait bien le coup c est un petit bijoux des jouets comme toujours. C est adorable c est cagette sont parfaite le bois de qualité, la peinture,le look , le choix des coloris... c est parfait... c est vraiment le top j aurai du leur prendre il y a longtemps car c est vraiment génial. Prochaine achat une caisse enregistreuse en bois... et oui des beaux jouets en bois ou en métal de belle matière c est tellement plus agréable même pour les petits.
... 2 ans plus tard ... Deuxième commande toujours aussi bien cadeau qui plait beaucoup
